A formal flower garden is distinguished from a regular flower bed or decorative garden by two important characteristics. The first of these is deliberate patterning. By deliberate patterning, we mean the creation of immediately recognizable geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, spirals, semi-circles, and circles. The second key element is functional division. By this we mean some sort of dividing axis runs through the garden center. This axis can be anything from a simple gravel path to an ornate stone walkway. Either way, it provides a transition element that allows the garden to be viewed from within as a person strolls through its interior.
